FleetMatics Phone Call Recording Class Action Lawsuit
By Mike Holter
A class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Florida businesses and individuals who received a telephone call with FleetMatics, a company that provides GPS tracking systems for small- and medium-sized businesses, for allegedly recording phone calls without permission.
The FleetMatics class action lawsuit alleges the company recorded thousands of phone calls made by FleetMatics sales representatives from its Clearwater, Florida office to Florida consumers, who reasonably expected that no one would be recording their phone conversations. According to the class action lawsuit, recording telephone calls with prior consent violates Florida law, and every customer who had a phone call recorded without their consent is entitled to statutory damages.
The FleetMatics class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of all individuals and businesses residing in Florida who spoke with any representative of FleetMatics’ offices in Florida on the telephone and had their telephone conversation recorded without their consent or advance notice. In addition to seeking the higher of $1,000 or statutory damages of $100 a day for each day FleetMatics violated the law, the class action lawsuit is seeking a permanent injunction that prohibits FleetMatics from illegally recording phone calls.
The FleetMatics Phone Call Recording Class Action Lawsuit case is U.S. Prisoner Transport, et al. v. FleetMatics USA, LLC, Case No. 12009933 CI-20, Sixth Judicial Circuit of the State of Florida, Pinellas County, Civil Division.

Yes Bobby…. you are missing a brain.
A federal appellate court has held that because only interceptions made through an “electronic, mechanical or other device” are illegal under Florida law, telephones used in the ordinary course of business to record conversations do not violate the law. So I am not sure what this lawsuit is about? Please inform… am I missing something?
